Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mahmud II, who was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1808 to 1839. This coin was minted in 1835, which was a significant year for the Ottoman Empire as it marked the beginning of the Tanzimat reforms, a series of modernizing reforms aimed at strengthening the empire's administrative, legal, and military systems. The coin's design, featuring the Sultan's name and title, reflects the centralized power of the Ottoman Empire at that time.
